Abstract

A fastener for fastening a component having a mounting hole has an essentially U-shaped clamping region that at least partially grips around the component and has two opposing legs that are connected together as a single piece by a connecting region. The legs are provided with through holes that serve to accommodate a pin or stud that passes through the mounting hole of the component. A nut is attached to a first leg on the side facing away from the second leg such that the connection between the first leg and the nut can be released by a separating force acting on the nut.
